He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, . . . nor crying, nor pain anymore.
Revelation 21:4
Everlasting Father, Mighty God
As other prophets, Zephaniah prophesies both judgment and restoration. He talks about Christ more than even some major prophets do. His book ends by encouraging Israelites to rejoice, to celebrate their coming salvation.
But wait—didn’t Zephaniah just prophesy the coming judgment? Weren’t people going to face ruin and darkness? Worse yet, didn’t they fully deserve this judgment? And are we not any better? Aren’t we mischievous children and wayward, darkness-loving sheep?
The almighty God is our Creator. He restores us to eternal life through His Son, Jesus. Therefore, God sees us through the lens of the cross. In Christ, we stand holy before God. Our everlasting God claims us as His own, protects and defends us, is with us, and triumphs over death for us. Through faith by grace, our Father freely gives us life.
In tough times, remember how dearly you are loved. How beautiful Zephaniah 3:17 is: God lives among His people. He quiets us with His love. This mighty God rejoices over us with gladness. May He grant us strength to tell of His faithfulness.
Everlasting Father, mighty God, we await Your new order of no tears, death, or pain. Come quickly, Lord Jesus. Amen.

Called to Rejoice
Have you ever lamented to the Lord? Tough things happen: An earthquake, car accident, or school shooting. Terminal illness. Infertility. The impact of mental illness or substance abuse. We don’t understand why these things happen.
Habakkuk expresses his impatience, lamenting to God. We complain to God, trusting Him. We go to Him as dear children go to their father. He welcomes our hurts and frustrations when offered in faith. It may feel as if God is silent, but He hears us. He answers us in His time. His will is done.
Yet God also calls us to rejoice. How can we do this? Alone, we cannot. But we are not alone. Jesus knew suffering. He practiced persistent patience out of love for us. Jesus promises to be with us.
His Spirit keeps us cross-eyed—He keeps our eyes fixed on Jesus on the cross (see Hebrews 12:2), which helps us remember that earthly life is temporary. Jesus has ascended to prepare an eternal place for us. While we await His return, even amid pain, we are emboldened to proclaim Christ: to sing to the Lord, to declare His glory, and to rejoice.
Almighty Father, thank You for hearing my prayers of pain and frustration. Guide my heart to rejoice in You always. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Remaining Word
Afew years ago, the professional ice hockey team in my city won the championship. Just two years later, the team failed to qualify for the playoffs. Earthly victories are often short-lived. Our lives may seem fleeting—our flesh withers like grass.
Nineveh had been known for being vast, fierce, and ferocious. Nahum depicts Nineveh’s capture. So much of what we think is important now will not matter in even fifty years. Prosperous cities decline. Mighty people fall. All people die.
Our God is not dead. He lives! He does not sleep. His Word is firmly fixed in the heavens. It is a lamp, a light. Like our eternal God, the Alpha and the Omega, His Word endures forever.
Jesus Christ is the Word made flesh—for us. His victory over sin, death, and the devil is forever. He sought victory for us because we are not insignificant to God, who created us and is with us. God loves us so dearly! His eternal Word comforts us when earthly victories fade, when our bodies fade like the grass, and when we confess our own sin. In Christ, we are forgiven. As God’s beloved children, we are heirs to that eternal victory. God’s Word remains forever.
Risen Lord Jesus, thank You for being our enduring Word. Amen.

After this I will return. . . . I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it, that the remnant of mankind may seek the Lord.
Acts 15:16–17
Eternal Restoration
After prophesying judgment, Amos ends with a word of hope. In God’s mercy, the Last Day is spoken of as a day of salvation for His people. Amid destruction comes God’s promise: the Lord will once again dwell among His people. He will raise up David’s fallen booth. God will restore, heal, and bless not just David, not only Israel, but also all nations. Creation will no longer be under the curse of the fall.
Amos’s Gospel prophesy is fulfilled in Jesus Christ. He was crucified, the temple destroyed. Three days later, in the resurrection of Jesus, God raised up the fallen booth. Baptized into Christ, we gain Christ’s victory. We are forgiven, restored into fellowship with God.
Jesus, our Immanuel, is coming back for us. That day, God will gather us in His loving arms and restore our bodies. He will take us to live with Him, not just in Eden revived but also in Eden eclipsed—an eternal restoration. God’s kingdom is eternal. He is our God, and He reigns forever. Soli Deo gloria.
Eternal, merciful God, You heal and restore. You forgive and reign victoriously. You promise us eternal restoration through Your dear Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. In His name. Amen.

For thus says the LORD to the house of Israel: “Seek Me and live.” Amos 5:4
Called from Doom and Gloom
Amos declares judgment on the neighbors of Israel, and then he says that God’s people are no better. The guilt of God’s chosen people is exposed. The consequence of sin is clear in that they will be conquered by the Assyrians. “Fallen, no more to rise” (5:2) is a drastic, gloomy judgment. Sin is not to be taken lightly.
Chapter 2 of Amos is graphic, but to God, our sins stink no less than those described there. Our guilt is exposed. God knows our thoughts and actions. He knows when we lie, when we fail to serve our neighbor, or when we neglect the blessings He delights to give us. Sin separates us from God and has consequences—“the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). It is not to be taken lightly.
Thanks be to God that He doesn’t leave us in the doom and gloom of sin. Instead, He takes our sins and places them on His Son, Jesus. God is merciful and has compassion. We can never “out-sin” God’s grace. He lovingly invites us to seek Him and live. Jesus’ death and resurrection turn our gloom into joyful victory. God gives us the free gift of eternal life in Christ. Thus we proclaim: Christ is risen. Alleluia!
Give ear to my prayer, O God. Send Your Spirit to help me cast my burden on You. Thank You for sustaining me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live before Him.
Hosea 6:2
Called from Unfaithfulness
Here the people declare their hope in repentance, saying they will return to the Lord, confident that He will heal them. But Israel’s repentance is short-lived. The words sound right, but they are empty. True repentance is more than words; it’s a heart change. God knows how empty the words are. He desires steadfast love, not sacrifice. He wants us to know Him; or as Luther says, to “fear, love, and trust” in Him (Small Catechism, explanation of the First Commandment). Hosea proclaims that judgment will come.
We are often like the Israelites. We half-heartedly mumble, “I’m sorry,” with no aims to change our behavior. We confess, but we are just going through the motions. We fail to put God first.
With His Spirit, God calls us to be faithful. He feeds us with His Word. He gathers us and fellow believers into His presence. He reminds us of our Baptism—opportunity comes daily when we drown the old Adam (see Hosea 6:7) or old _______ (insert your name). Our unfaithfulness is met by God’s faithfulness. He leads us to renounce sin, to turn from our ways. In Christ, we repent. The hope in verse 2 is made true in Christ’s resurrection on the third day. God is merciful.
Lord God, thank You for calling us from unfaithfulness. Keep us in the one true faith. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and amazing are Your deeds, O Lord God the Almighty!”
Revelation 15:3
Called from Humble Beginnings
Moses was born when that alone was dangerous because Pharaoh had ordered the death of infant Israelite males. God kept Moses safe.
The Israelites were enslaved in Egypt. God heard their groaning and remembered His covenant. God called Moses, sending him to deliver His people out of Egypt. But Moses committed a murder and was poorly equipped to deliver God’s people. He had run away from Egypt and Pharaoh and his own people; now God was sending him back!
Moses was not prepared. Yet God called—and equipped—him, the first of the great prophets. Moses interceded for God’s people. God led him to deliver the Israelites, not by his own strength but by God’s.
About 1,500 years later, Jesus was born when that alone was dangerous. Herod soon ordered the death of all the male children two years old and under in Bethlehem’s region. God kept Jesus safe.
Because everyone is enslaved by sin, babies born today are in danger. Yet God hears our prayers, saves us by Baptism into Christ, and calls us to proclaim Christ crucified. We may feel unprepared. God will equip us for His purpose. He keeps us safe. May we joyfully trust in the Lord!
O Lord God the Almighty! Great and amazing are Your deeds. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Revelation 7:14
Facing Jesus When He Comes
Many years ago, a TV comedian wearing judicial robes would walk on stage while another person shouted, “Here comes the judge! Hear comes the judge!” Laughter ensued. I remember hearing Dr. Oswald Hoffmann respond to that skit, preaching, “One day, nobody is going to laugh at that line anymore.”
Surely the judge of all mankind is coming. The Bible repeatedly warns us to be ready. When that Last Day comes, how shall we face Him? In complacency? In fear? No, with faith and joy, for this is the One who has granted to all believers the right to eat from the tree of life (Revelation 22:14). We enter at His invitation and because of His work on the tree of the cross. We enter because He has washed us in His blood and cleansed us from our sin. He died with forgiveness on His lips, promising cleansing to all who believe in Him. Cleansing? Yes! Although our sins “are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow” (Isaiah 1:18).
The Spirit calls to us to accept Jesus’ invitation without any merit or worthiness in us. It’s all by grace and love, which are in Christ Jesus. This is the gate of the Lord. As we come into His presence, let us enter and face Jesus with joy!
“Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!” (Revelation 22:20).

Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.
Psalm 19:13
Willful Sin
The Gospel is for sinners. The Savior died in the place of sinners like us. Paul writes to believers: “How can we who died to sin still live in it? . . . Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions” (Romans 6:2, 12). But what if we intentionally seek what God has forbidden? Is this intentional sin dangerous? Absolutely! King David knew that intentional sin—sin against conscience taught by the Word—is dangerous. In fact, he prays for help against “presumptuous” sins. These are sins of arrogance against a holy God, sins committed while our consciences are shouting, “NO!”
To keep on winning over these deliberate sins, God offers us the power He embeds in the Word and the Sacraments, in Divine Worship and in private devotion. The power of the Gospel that saves is the same power that enables us to say no to sin. And that way is always open to approach God in repentance and faith. Use His Word as a sure defense, just as Jesus did when He was tempted in the desert. Rest in the comfort of God’s free gifts of faith, never-ending love, mercy, and grace.
Lord God, warn me against presuming upon Your grace. Please remind me of Your forgiving love through the blood of Your Son. In His name. Amen.
